Former Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has sharply criticized the current government’s handling of a debt relief law, commonly known as the Katseli Law. Samaras alleges the Finance Minister is applying the law selectively, excluding thousands of eligible debtors from its protections. He claims this demonstrates a clear bias in the application of justice. The criticism centers on modifications to the law’s criteria, which Samaras argues unfairly disqualify many individuals struggling with loan repayments. He did not specify the exact number of excluded debtors, but implied the figure is substantial. The former PM made these statements responding to questions about the revised regulations concerning debt restructuring. The government has not yet responded to Samaras’ accusations.
